Given that the sum to infinity of a G.P. is 10. If the first term of the series is given as 5, determine the 3rd term.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a₃ = 1.25

Step-by-step explanation:

the sum to infinity is calculated as

S ∞ = [tex]\frac{a_{1} }{1-r}[/tex]

a₁ is the first term and r the common ratio

given a₁ = 5 and S∞ = 10 , then

10 = [tex]\frac{5}{1-r}[/tex] ( multiply both sides by (1 - r)

10(1 - r) = 5

10 - 10r = 5 ( subtract 10 from both sides )

- 10r = - 5 ( divide both sides by - 10 )

r = 0.5

then

a₂ = a₁ × r = 5 × 0.5 = 2.5

a₃ = a₂ × r = 2.5 × 0.5 = 1.25

Answers

Answer: 2114

Step-by-step explanation:

m = sum of the terms / number of terms

151 = a/ 14

14 x 151 = a

2114 = a

Answer:

21.14 m

Step-by-step explanation:

the mean is calculated as

mean = [tex]\frac{sum}{count}[/tex]

here mean is 151 cm and count = 14 , then

[tex]\frac{sum}{14}[/tex] = 151 ( multiply both sides by 14 to clear the fraction )

sum = 14 × 151 cm = 2114 cm = 2114 cm ÷ 100 = 21.14 m

Please help me solve problems a - d.

Answers

By defining and solving systems of equations, we will see that:

a) the fraction is 40/56

d) the fraction is 15/21.

How to write the equations?

We have the fraction 5/7 and we want to write it in different ways.

a) First we want to find a number a/b such that:

a/b = 5/7

a + b = 96

This is a little system of equations, to solve this, first we can rewrite the first equation as:

7a = 5b

Now we can isolate a on the second equation:

a = 96 - b

And replace that on the other equation:

7*(96 - b) = 5b

And now we can solve this for b.

672 - 7b = 5b

672 = 5b + 7b = 12b

672/12 = b = 56

And we know that:

a = 96 - b = 96 - 56 = 40

Then the fraction is 40/56

d) This time we want the denominator to be 9 less than twice the numerator.

in a/b, a is the numerator and b is the denominator.

So this time we have:

a/b = 5/7

b = 2a - 9

We can rewrite the first equation again:

7a = 5b

And then replace the other equation in the right side:

7a = 5*(2a - 9)

And now solve this for a.

7a = 10a - 45

45 = 10a - 7a = 3a

45/3 = a = 15.

And:

b = 2a - 9 = 2*15 - 9 = 21

Then the fraction is 15/21.

What is the measure of arc BEC in circle D?

Answers

The measure of arc BEC is 134°. The correct option is the first option 134°

Circle Geometry

From the question, we are to determine the measure of arc BEC

In the given diagram,

Measure of angle C = 1/2 (measure of arc AB)

Reason: The measure of an inscribed angle is half the measure of the intercepted arc

∴ Measure of angle C = 1/2 (76°)

Measure of angle C = 38°

m∠A + m∠B + m∠C = 180° (Sum of angles in a triangle)

m∠A + 75° + 38° = 180°

m∠A + 113° = 180°

m∠A = 180° - 113°

m∠A = 67°

Measure of arc BEC = 2 × m∠A (Angle at the center is twice the angle at the circumference)

Measure of arc BEC = 2 × 67°

Measure of arc BEC = 134°

Hence, the measure of arc BEC is 134°. The correct option is the first option 134°

Trigonometry: Rounded to the nearest tenth of a foot, the answer is 15.2 feet.

What is trigonometry?

Trigonometry is a branch of mathematics that studies the relationships between side lengths and angles of triangles. It is used to calculate unknown side lengths and angles of triangles when given other values, and to solve various problems in different fields such as engineering, navigation, astronomy, and physics.

The horizontal distance between the base of the ladder and the wall can be calculated using trigonometry.
The formula for finding the opposite side of a triangle (in this case, the horizontal distance) when given the angle and the adjacent side is: opposite side = adjacent side x tan (angle)
Therefore, the horizontal distance is 16 feet x tan(66°) = 15.2 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use the Law of Cosines after you find y or θ. Using the given information, you can apply the Pythagorean theorem, the Law of Sines, or the definition of the cosine trig function.

The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA is intended to remind you of the relations between sides and angles in a right triangle. It tells you ...

  Sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse

  Cos = Adjacent/Hypotenuse

Find y

The Pythagorean theorem relates the measures of the sides. It tells you ...

  y² +5² = 12²

  y = √(144 -25) = √119

Find angles

The trig relations above tell you ...

  sin(α) = 5/12   ⇒   α = arcsin(5/12) ≈ 24.624°

 cos(θ) = 5/12   ⇒   θ = arccos(5/12) ≈ 65.376°

Of course, once you find one of the angles, you can find the other. The sum of the two acute angles in a right triangle is 90°.

Find trig functions

Using the definitions above for the trig functions, you have ...

  sin(θ) = y/12 = (√119)/12

  cos(θ) = 5/12

  tan(θ) = y/5 = (√119)/5

Using trig identities, you have ...

  csc(θ) = 1/sin(θ) = 12/√119 = (12√119)/119

  sec(θ) = 1/cos(θ) = 12/5 = 2.4

  cot(θ) = 1/tan(θ) = 5/√119 = (5√119)/119

_____

Additional comment

The attached calculator screen shot shows you the angle θ on the first line, and the value of y on the second line. The csc, sec, and cot are shown on the third line. You will notice the angle mode (DEG) is seen in the lower left corner. If the calculator angle mode is set to radians, you will see the angles as relatively small radian values: θ ≈ 1.141, α ≈ 0.4298.

e) If the cheetah made a round-trip and took half the amount of time on the return trip as on the front end of the trip, what would be the relationship between the average rates on each leg of the trip? Using a complete sentence, explain how you arrived at this conclusion.

Answers

The relationship between the average rates is that ; The average rate of return trip is twice the average rate of front trip.

How to determine algebra relationship?

From the complete question seen online, we can say that;

Time taken on front trip = t

Time taken on return trip = 1/2 × t = t/2

Relationship between speed(Rate) and time is;

Rate ∝ 1/time

This means that Rate is inversely proportional to time.

Thus, for the front trip, the rate is; r = 1/t

For return trip, the rate is; R = 1/(t÷2)

R = 1 × 2/t

R = 2/t

Rate of front trip = 1/t

Rate of return trip = 2/t

Thus, we can say that the average rate of return trip is twice the average rate of front trip.

For every 10 yards on a football field, there is a boldly marked line labeled with the amount of yards.
There are two parallel sidelines on each side of the field. If the 50 yard line is perpendicular to one of the
sidelines, what is its relationship to the other sideline?

Answers

Answer:

Same, because they are parallel.

Step-by-step explanation:

Trey graphs the equations y = –x2 + 2x + 3 and y = x2 – 2x + 3 to solve the equation –x2 + 2x + 3 = x2 – 2x + 3. His graph is shown below.

What are the solution(s) of –x2 + 2x + 3 = x2 – 2x + 3?

Answers

The solution of the equation -x^2 + 2x + 3 = x^2 - 2x + 3 are the x-coordinates of common points on the graphs are x=0 and x=2.

What is a system of equations?

A system of equations is two or more equations that can be solved to get a unique solution. the power of the equation must be in one degree.

As we can see from the attached graph these graphs intersect at points (0,3) and (2,3).

The system of equation are;

[tex]y = x^2 + 2x + 3 \\y = x^2 - 2x + 3[/tex]

So,

[tex]-x^2 + 2x + 3 = x^2 - 2x + 3 \\\\2x^2 - 4x = 0\\\\2x ( x - 2) = 0[/tex]

Then the solutions of the equation are x=0 and x=2.

Answer:

[tex]\sf C) \ x = -1\dfrac{2}{5} , \ y = \ 1\dfrac{3}{5}[/tex]

Given equations:

a) -3x + 3y = 9b) 2x - 7y = -14

Make x the subject in equation 1:

-3x + 3y = 9-3x = 9 - 3yx = y - 3

Substitute this into equation 2:

2(y - 3) - 7y = -14

2y - 7y = -14 + 6

-5y = -8

  y = -8/-5

  y = 1.6

Then x = y - 3

           = 1.6 - 3

           = -1.4

Solution: (x, y)(-1.4, 1.6)
